Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 18, 1910.

Application filed August 4, 1909. Serial No. 511,239.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. J ORDAN, a subject of His Majesty the King of Great Britain, at present residing at the town of Bridgewater, in the county of Plymouth and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to adapt parlor or other such like heating or hot-air stoves, of the ordinary or other suitable construction, with a down draft, that is, with a draft that is downward through the burning coal in the stove, and all without liability of danger in any respect and with the securing of the most satisfactory results such as a most thorough and complete combustion of the gases, smoke, &c., arising from the burning coal, and the obtaining of an intense heat and especially so, in close proximity to the room-floor where, as well known, it is most required, and the elimination of elinkers, &c.

The accompanying drawings illustrate a parlor heating or hot-air stove having a down draft in accordance with this invention, the stove otherwise being of the ordinary and well known or of any other suitable construction.

Figure 1 is, in substance, at central vertical section of the stove from front to rear. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the stove, on line 22, Fig. 1, below the fire grate and through the ash-pit, or chamber.

In the drawings, A represents the body of the stove; B is the fire-pot or combustionchamber; C is the opening and closing feeddoor to chamber B provided with an opening slide K for the purpose of an intake draft; D is the fire-grate at lower end of chamber B, E is the ash-pit or chamber below the fire-grate D; F is the opening and closing door to the ash-pit E, and G is the ordinary draft flue leading off from the upper portion of the combustion-chamber B to the chimney or other escape and having an opening and closing damper H for regulating the draft therethrough, all as well known and therefore needing no further explanation in detail herein.

The fire-pot and ash-pit doors 0 and F, are, as usual, provided, the door C, with the regulating slide K before referred to and the door F, with the regulating slide L, for

the ordinary and well known purposes, and as with the slide K for the particular intake ashas been stated.

M is an opening and closing damper at the rear of the ash-pit E, and this damper is located and arranged in connection with a flue-passage N, that leads upward and is in connection with the escape-flue G before referred to.

O is an air-box or chamber which lies directly under the ash-pit E and the ash-pit has an open grating-floor R on which to set the ashpan S, and at the front side the airbox has an opening and closing door P with a regulating slide Q, and at the rear side it is in open communication with said fluepassage N herein before referred to, and thence with the draft or escape-flue G.

For a down draft through the burning coal and firepot and thence through the ash-pit E and air-box 0 under the ash-pit to and up through the flue N to the escape-flue G, open the feed-door C of the fire-pot or open its slide or damper K and close the damper H in the escape-flue G and also the doors L, Q and their respective slides F, P. This down draft can be regulated as may be desired through properly manipulating the dampers or doors above stated and the regulation of the above for its ordinary running or an up draft through the fuel may be accomplished as is self evident by opening the doors F, P or their dampers L, Q and the escape-flue damper H.

With a floor R opening to the ash-pit E, as has been stated, the heat, everything else being proper, is allowed to pass down around the ash-pan and through said floor and so to enter the chamber 0 below said floor and to impinge against the floor and sides thereof, whereby, as is obvious, direct heat radiation is secured from the very lowest part of the stove, or in other words, the parts nearest the floor of the room in which the stove is placed.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

In a heating-stove, having a fire-pot, a fire-grate, an ash-pit below said grate, and an escape-flue which leads from the fire-pot and has an opening and closing damper, the combination therewith of an air-chamber or box below the ash-pit, an open grating-floor to said ash-pit, forming a communication ing opening and closing slides, to said fire between the ash-pit and air-chamber, an ashpot, ash-pit and air-chamber.
